School profiles. Why do demographic info?

[Anonymous]

Any insight why DCPS school profiles have a demographic section but no info listed? Has that been talked about on here before?

The data disappeared a week or so ago. It was mentioned here. They seem to be redesigning those pages with new links etc.

Most people assume it's a temporary issue.

You can get demographic data by school from OSSE's learndc.org, including test scores by subgroup. No IB/OOB though.

Thanks. But for elementary, grades 3-5 are only tested, right? Where is demographic info PS3-2nd?

That info was never provided. No area school system provides demographic info by grade.

There is only school-wide demographic data available (same as on the dcps profile over). Nothing by grade

But you can compare test results by grade and subgroup, if there are more than 25 students of a subgroup in the grade (e.g. if there are 25 or 4th grade Latino students at XYZ school yoincan see how many scored 1,2,3,4 and 5).

This data is questionable. 100% low income families? At Wilson?

race and income data by grade would be very interesting.

If more than 40% of students are low income or at risk, DCPS declares community eligibility and it shows up in the national data (which this pulls from) as 100%.

DC never listed Wilson as 100%, but great schools does. Also Great school's data on our elementary is always wrong. Don't trust that site.

NCEC (part of the US Department of ed) lists Wilson as 100% -- they use 2014-15 data submitted by OSSE.

+1
If a school has >40 percent of pupils eligible for free and reduced meals, it may declare community eligibility; i.e., all kids in the school are eligible for free meals. This makes their FARMS percentage appear to be 100 percent. Our school is always listed as 100 percent FARMS, despite the lawyers and World Bank types on the PTA. Our true percentage is in the 60's.

And if you add the at risk numbers (housing insecurity/homelessness or a grade behind academically based on age) that gets you to the 40% threshold
